Day 1 of Trip

Ok so the pictures are in reverse orders. So look at them from the bottom going up.
After packing late Friday night, we woke up at 3 and drove to Salt Lake. The lines were really long but since we got there early we only waited a few hours. It worked out fine. We had a 2 and a half hour plane ride. The Murrays, Ricks, Gilgens, and Blackers were on the plane with us, and alot of other people who followed us to the hotel and will be going on the cruise also. We got off the plane and called for the hotel van, the other dumb people going on the cruise took all the room. So we had to wait like an hour for it to come again, and there were still people from that group riding with us. We were scrunched Shelley and Sherri rode on their husbands laps and some stood. We had so many bags though they were stacked everywhere. We still havent seen the other people who were on the other flights yet. We are in Houston, Texas right now. We had our hotel bus take us to the mall to eat for dinner and we went to the mall. Let me tell you. A group of white people in a mall full of blacks. It seemed like everyone was staring at us. I realize that the people in Texas all the girls wear clothes way to small and the guys wear clothes way to big. Anyways we waited forever for the bus to come back and pick us up. Then we came to the hotel and are going to go to bed. We wake up tomorrow and leave around 1o. To drive to Galveston to get on the boat. Fun huh. Well I wont have the internet after this so I will blog when I get home. ... oh i almost forgot the best part about Texas is there is noooo snow!!!!

our van full of bags, stacked

Andrew Isn't coming Home!

Here is an email we just got from Andrew.

I’m in Culiacan. I’m not coming home. I’m in the offices. You have to call me for Christmas I’ll write you the number and the day at the end. My leg feels fine it is really hard to think that it is broken. I don’t have a cast anymore. They didn’t do a good job so I was walking one day with my crutches and I stepped up and fell back on to my cast. It didn’t hurt, but I broke the bottom out of it. It wasreally late on Saturday night and there wasn’t anything open but the hospitals and they are really hard to get in to. I called hermana Johnston to see if she would let me cut it off. I figured she would say no but she said if its already broken I could. So I got a serrated steak knife from the kitchen and put my leg up on my lap and I cut off my cast. It took about half an hour but I didn’t cut my self. I am doing finethough it doesn’t hurt to walk and the doctor said the fissure is in a really stable place so I am going to walk on it for a while but the hermana probably will make me go get a walking cast. Even though she let me cut off my own cast she is really good to me she takes really good care of me and worries allot. They even gave me the van. I am the first missionary with a car in this mission as far as I know. I do like Culiacan. It is ok. It’s better than Mazatlan. The president says I will be here three weeks at least, but I’m going to try to talk him in to letting me go back at the end of this week. I’ve spent a lot of time with them this week. Also with the Michlesons. President Michleson is from Idaho falls and is a seventy and president of the area in Mexico. He was here for the week visiting. Hermana Johnston said that she really likes my parents because they didn't want me to come home. She was very impressed. I think I am one of the favorites now as well. You are supposed to call at 4 in the afternoon the 24th if it doesn't work don't worry I can call you and then you can call back. I think I get half an hour. I really don'tlike that the church won't pay for it but whatever. Who ever wants to can come. The hermana Johnston told me just to talk and tell you everything I can because you just like hearing my voice again. Be patient with the box. I know it got sent. I'm not going to tell you when the next one gets sent so you won’t hassle me. I was going to buy a camera today but I didn't have the chance. I have enough money on my card to buy one. I did get your second package. Thanks for the stuff. I got to tell you though that the book of Mormon in Spanish is the same one we give away. I do appreciate the thought and the triple. Those are harder to come by I gave the last one away to magdeleno a recent convert. I do like giving those out after people get baptized. I really miss my ranch. I don't like the city. I really loved Ahome. I hope that I will get to go back. The girls in Culiacan are more pretty though. They are famous for the prettiest girls in all Mexico. That is pretty much the whole state of Sinaloa, but I’ve seen the whole state and the girls in Mazatlan are ugly, and in mochis they are pretty but not as pretty as in Culiacan. Oh well the weather here is really nice it's about 75 I think, but I’m in an office all day finding things to do. That’s really weird that Blaine is married. I wish I could have been there. Oh well I love you and I miss you and I hope Christmas is going well. It really doesn't feel like Christmas with all the palm trees and Mexicans. I bought a bunch of shrimp and onions and tomatoes and cucumbers and stuff to make cevice for Christmas. It’s that raw shrimp tomatoes soup that I like. It’s not very christmasy but it's what I like best here. Anyway hand out my email make sure no one forgets about me and write more next week please. Everyone says that the letters stop coming after a year, and when you have three months left, you don’t get anything.

oh NO! SNOW!

Merry Christmas!! I am not excited for Christmas this year because I dont have any money to buy presents. I was so excited for Christmas Vacation. Yippee!! NO SCHOOL!! I can't believe how much it has snowed. I usually like it but it has been to cold to go sledding, and everyone knows I hate driving in the snow. I suck at it to. I just slide on through everywhere. I wish it would stop snowing because then we could go sledding and take pictures. OH and no wind too.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

News on Andrew

Friday December 12
Down in Mexico they think that Andrew may have broken his ankle. They are supposed to let us know for sure today whether or not it really is broken. Then the general authorities have to decide whether he gets to stay in Mexico or if he has to come home. He doesn't want to come home and mom thinks it would be better for him to stay in Mexico also. How did he break it?He was standing on a porch with his companion when a dog jumped at them from behind the door and scared his companion who freaked out and accidentally knocked Andrew off of the porch. :(

Saturday December 15
So the mission president called and Andrew's ankle is broken but the doctors recommended his staying in Mexico. They are transfering him from Mazitlan to Culiacan so he can work in the office with the mission president's wife. He has to stay off of his feet completely for one week and will have crutches for a couple of months. Until we hear otherwise he is staying in Mexico. :) (I know he didn't want to be in Mazitlan but there has to be other ways to get out of there right? ;)
We Find out Monday or Tuesday if he comes home or not
